Why does JSF use JSP

I've been looking into JSF these last days. What I don't get about it is why they use JSP to create the component tree? If you write an internationalized application, you end up with zero, zip, kein HTML on your page. At that point, wouldn't we be better off just building the component tree in Java, with nice things like code assist and static type checks? Or am I just missing something here?
